About the Book

This book, drawn from months of question and answer sessions with Swami Chetanananda and his students, transmits the vibrancy and clarity of being in the company of a spiritual teacher. These brief, poetic pieces offer refreshing answers to life's daily challenges.

Each of the 130 chapters focuses on a short, thought-provoking topic suitable for daily reflection—including The Breath Inside the Breath, Dealing with Tension Is Never What It Seems, and The Dynamic Still Point. The underlying nondual essence of Kashmir Shaivism permeates the narrative in simple, modern English.

Swami Chetanananda is intensely direct and honest, and the result is an uplifting work with true spiritual depth.
